so you gotta spend at least $50 plus tax to get each VOTC figure to get the 5 coupons needed to get ONE GL in stormtrooper disguise?? IF the 5 figs were ones I really RILLY wanted then maybe but other than the SA looking x-wing pilot Luke and Tusken Raider, they just don't trip my trigger.

That you just need to send in 5 proofs of purchase from the outer casings of the figures. That means you could buy all Scout troopers if you wanted to. I don't think they would individualize the stickers b/c that would just take more work (and cost) for them. Seems reasonable to assume.

And that the Lucas Stormtrooper is carded on a Vintage style card. That's why he's considered VOTC. If not, I definitely won't purchase it anyway, b/c I like all my figures carded.

Personally, I think this is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Hasbro tried to build this up like it was some big deal, and they fall flat on their face with a pathetic attempt at a figure (if you can even call it that).

I still think the headsculpt is pretty good. The rest of the figure is meh, but it's meant as a display piece/novelty item anyway, so it doesn't bother me one bit. I'll still get one, since I'll be getting all of the VTSC.

Again, this is a figure that I just see no use for, nor do I have any interest for. This will sound crazy to some, but IMO if Hasbro really wanted to remember George, make a figure of a character he actually played in the movie . . . . oh wait, that's right, its coming out in April . . . . Or make a figure with Geore in a flannel shirt and jeans . . . and on his stand, put the name Great Flannel One.

It's a bonus - that's how I'm forced to look at it. I'd be buying these VOTC figures anyway, so kudos to Hasbro for reviving the old mail-away offer thing and letting us all get in on the nostalgia that comes along with it.

If it was Hermie Odle everyone would be furious - at least with a Lucas figure most people won't freak out if they don't get one.

I'll order as many as I'm able to with all the Scout Troopers I'm hoping to find and maybe I can trade the extras if there are any.

Are you going to have to send the UPC's or the Kenner logo on back of the cardback . If only the UPC then you can still get away with keeping the fig carded since the UPC is on a seperate insert inside the case. I put my VOTC in a regular figure case since I could not stand those cheap ass cases that were included so this would work out perfect for myself.
